I'd love to learn what that parent meant by that and how you changed your transparency. I suppose I mean I'm transparent in all I'm doing in class and why - I can't think of how that could harm children, and I really hope it never does! Thank you for reading and commenting - and I hope you blog about it some day. :)Joy Kirrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08883167887036480979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941630785664397334.post-36082004813116330902016-08-13T11:25:46.814-05:002016-08-13T11:25:46.814-05:00Joy: This is spot on!

I had a parent tell me a few years ago, and I will never forget this, that "Your transparency harms children." That didn't scare me, but did wake me up to being transparent in a different way :) <br /><br />Keep fighting the good fight!Rachel Jeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207830505119385861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941630785664397334.post-86815857173468575162013-01-19T21:43:55.336-06:002013-01-19T21:43:55.336-06:00Dear Joy,

I even read the whole post to my husband. <br /><br />I have experienced some questions too, but your steps to make it through the wall are right. Communication with parents, coworkers and administration is always ongoing, as well as teacher reflection, that brings about improved learning for you and your students. <br /> <br />Such a great metaphor. Keeping breaking down the wall, friend!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />DeniseDenise Krebshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00583406241247334445noreply@blogger.com
